I've been working on this pet portrait for the past few days and it's finally complete. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the way that it turned out. I was a bit more loose with the cat than I would normally be. I applied the pastel to the face and then blended it. I really liked the effect that I achieved in doing that. I think the cat looks more soft than other portraits that I've done.

"Sphinx" is a surprise birthday gift and I hope the recipient is pleased. :)

About Me

I describe myself as an overall creative person at heart as well as a bit of a free spirit. I am a self taught artist and quilter and absolutely love both! I’ve been blessed with some amazing opportunities to show my work. Along with my artistic endeavors, I have a bachelor’s degree in legal studies and am currently working on my masters in marriage and family therapy. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge when it comes to all aspects of well being, and I love to share what I learn with others.
